ToyWorld_3D

ToyWorld_3D creates an articulated (tails move) Toy spaceship and flys it around in 3D with the option to create an animated GIF.

ToyWorld_3D.m creates a articulated (tails move) Toy spaceship and flys it around in 3D with the option to create an animated GIF. Underlying 3D classes are provided.

Underlying story of animation is a flight to the Jupiter deck with a power flame failure followed by safepod ejection. Toy falls through deck, fade to only view of Jupiter.

ToyWorld_3D provides MATLAB classes to create, move and rotate 3D Toys. WCS translation and LCS translation and rotation are enabled. Articulated Toys can be made. Toy has articulated tails as an example.

ToyWorld_3D is best understood using ToyWorld_3D.m as a guide to using the classes provided.

ToyWorld_3D.m uses the XYZ data from sphere and ellipsoid to generate parts. Try it with your own XYZ data.

setup.m extends the MATLAB classpath as needed.

First two lines of code:

fname = "ToyWorld_3D.gif"; % Pick name you wish

recordframe = false; % false = No GIF produced

% No background displayed

% true = GIF produced
